The Life Cycle of a Pear Fruit Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

A little pear sat in the bowl. "How did I get here?" it wondered. It couldn't remember anything before the bowl. A wise old apple, who had been there a long time, decided to tell the story.

"First," the apple began, "you were just a tiny idea inside a white flower on a big, tall tree." "A flower?" asked the pear. "Yes! A bee came to visit your flower. Buzzzzz! It tickled the flower, and then the flower's petals fell away, and you started to grow. You were a teeny, tiny green pear."

The little pear was amazed. "What happened next?"

"The sun warmed you," the apple said. "The rain washed you. You grew bigger and bigger, hanging from your strong stem, until one day, a kind hand picked you and brought you here!"

✨ Unexpected Twist: The pear thought its story was over. But the apple said, "The best part is next! Soon, a child will eat you and get strong. And your seeds? They might be planted to grow a whole new pear tree! Your story is just beginning."

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The sequential, three-step layout is a perfect introduction to storytelling and scientific processes for 3-5 year olds. Each element—flower, bee, small fruit, big fruit—is a simple, isolated shape that is easy to color. The friendly faces on the bee and pear make the science approachable.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Let's learn how a pear grows! First, color the pretty flower. What color will it be? Next, color the little bee with yellow and black stripes. Then, follow the arrow and color the tiny baby pear – it's usually green! Follow the last arrow to the big, happy pear. You can make it green, yellow, or even reddish. You just colored a whole story!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print in 'landscape' orientation to give the life cycle plenty of space to be displayed from left to right. After coloring, you can cut the page into three separate cards to help your child practice putting the story of the fruit in the correct order.

Recommended Tools

Colored pencils are excellent for this page, allowing for detail on the bee's stripes and the flower's petals. Washable markers are also great for making the final pear bright and vibrant. This is a great opportunity to talk about colors in nature while your child works.
